Introduction Multiple myeloma is a malignant neoplasm of plasma cells. Lenalidomide-dexamethasone treatment is a common treatment regimen used in refractory multiple myeloma. Case report We describe the case of a 58-year-old male multiple myeloma patient with a history of relapse after six months of autologous stem cell transplantation. The patient had nausea and bloody diarrhea developed during lenalidomide treatment. Management and outcome: Computed tomography showed diffuse marked edematous thickness in the wall of colonic, hepatic and splenic flexure, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon. Colonoscopic observation revealed highly granular, hyperemic and fragile mucosa. Colon biopsy was consistent with ischemic colitis. Lenalidomide treatment was discontinued. One month later, colon findings were detected as normalized through a colonoscopy. Discussion Risk of developing ischemic colitis should be kept in mind in patients receiving lenalidomide which should be discontinued in cases with severe bloody diarrhea of unknown origin.

We report the first case of multiple brain abscesses caused by Nocardia paucivorans in a patient suffering from multiple myeloma on treatment with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Nocardia  paucivorans is a recently described species of the genus Nocardia, which is supposed to have a heightened neurotropism in cases of disseminated infection. Although nocardiosis itself is an uncommon infectious complication in multiple myeloma so far, nocardial brain abscess should be added to the spectrum of adverse effects due to this novel chemotherapy regimen.
